The
National Study of Youth and Religion--Analysis of the Population of Catholic
Teenagers and Their Parents
A Resource Report Produced
for the National
Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry
by Charlotte McCorquodale, Ph.D., Victoria
Shepp, M.A., and Leigh Sterten, M.T.S., M.S.A.S.
The National Study of Youth and Religion is a nationally representative telephone survey of 3,370 U.S. English and Spanish speaking teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17, and of their parents. This report provides an analysis of the Catholic population within the NSYR study, consisting of 816 cases, and including both teenagers and their parents.
The results of this analysis are a fascinating picture of today's Catholic youth; the implications of those results for youth ministry are even more challenging. (Click on the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry title above to purchase.)
